I can’t see anything on Google about Tyrex that isn’t connected to Raptor.  I get the impression it may be a manufacturer they own or have very close exclusive links with.  But with only sales ads and info coming up, no discussions or forum threads, I think they must be very new.  I have never heard of that brand before.

Nigel has had another Raptor locker apart and it was full of metal bits . I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.

I had to read that first sentence a few times to consider the best interpretation.

My first thought was well of course I'd hope it's made of metal, as opposed to say plastic components. Then I thought ah- he means bits of metal - that ought not to be there. Little nasty sharp slivers of swarf, debris etc. Yep, that would put me off too.

'Rebranded' in the chinese way?

That would be my suspicion when a random company comes out with a product like this, especially with a description like this:

Quote

Diff locker for Land Rover, rover axle: Defender 90 front/rear, Defender 110/130 front, Discovery I/II, Range Rover classic.

No need air compressor or other adjustments to fit on the axle, all is included in the kit.

Fitting instruction included.

I can't believe that was written by an adult with English as their first language, for £500 they could at least bother to proof read their own website

fair point - but at least the stuff Nige writes you can tell it's him and not Google Translate.

It's mind boggling to think what Google Translate would make of Oink and Innit
